The Announcement: We have exciting news to share about Redeemer Norfolk. On Sunday, April 27, 2014, Redeemer Church Chesapeake launched a new campus in Norfolk, VA. For almost four years, a group of committed members have invested their lives in the city of Norfolk: living missionally and worshipping together in the hope that the […]

This past Sunday we concluded our study of 1 Thessalonians. What a rich and encouraging letter this is; from Paul the Apostle to a church that was living, growing and ready! We concluded the series with the idea that each of us longs to throw our lives into something bigger than ourselves. God has wired […]

It’s a weekly routine for me: I transfer the sermon I preached on Sunday out of my preaching notebook and into the notebook that contains all the printed sermons for the year.

On Sunday night at our Member’s Meeting we announced an invitation for everyone at Redeemer to participate with us in a time of prayer and fasting for our church. This is something we’ve done the last several years and something we hope will be a part of the beginning of every year in our church. Our corporate […]
